    Maintaining and Utilizing Your Osteopathic Skills

    Episode Summary: In today’s episode of POMA DOes… we are discussing how to maintain your osteopathic skills in clinical practice. Osteopathic manipulation is a powerful tool that helps build the physician-patient relationship and improves patient satisfaction while easing pain and promoting healing. But, like so many things, use it or lose it! Tune in today to learn the benefits of incorporating your osteopathic skills into practice to positively impact your patients.   Key Takeaways: Osteopathic manipulation is a powerful tool that can help ease pain and promote healing.
